About the Film
An American in Ho Chi Minh City looks for a daughter he fathered during the war. He meets Woody, a child who’s a street vendor, and when Woody’s case of wares disappears, he thinks the soldier took it. Woody hunts for him. A cyclo driver, Hai, gives a ride to Lan, a hotel call girl, and starts waiting for her daily; he falls in love with her and tries to break through her tough veneer. Kien An, a young woman, takes a job harvesting lotuses in the ponds of Teacher Dao, a reclusive man who has leprosy. Her singing awakens him from depression, and he asks her to write down poetry he has composed. The characters’ paths cross in small ways, around flowers and kindnesses.
